My wife is in my arms

Chapter 569 Template Three

After a morning.

Through the efforts of Tianyu Entertainment and the "Special Voice" program team, several posts about the song "Encounter" being leaked in advance appeared on the trending search list.

"Has it really been leaked!?"

While eating lunch after finishing her commercial performance in the morning, Bai Li asked her agent a question.

"fart"

Her agent scoffed, "It's just a publicity stunt."

That's a bit vulgar.

Bai Li commented.

"They dared to do this because they were very confident in the quality of the song 'Encounter,' and you saw the audience's reaction during the recording, sigh!"

As she spoke, her manager sighed and said, "Judging from the current situation, the song 'Encounter' has a very high chance of becoming a huge hit. It might even surpass Jiang Yiren's 'Ask,' and we probably won't even need to release that higher-quality song 'Red Bean.' Jiang Yiren's status as a queen of pop will be completely eroded by this hype."

Bai Li remained silent.

Not to mention her agent, even she noticed it.

Not long ago, she also watched the leaked clip and read the comments from netizens. Besides criticizing the person who took the photos, most of them praised the song.

One fan even asked this question in the comments section.

"If we must part ways, then what was the point of our meeting in the first place?!"

There are thousands of comments under this question, which means that such a short passage has resonated with many fans.

Meanwhile, many fans comforted Jiang Yiren and urged her to release the song "Encounter" as soon as possible. Judging from these reactions, Bai Li knew that the song "Encounter" was already a success.

"Let's find an opportunity to talk to Zhang You again! Four million it is, let's buy a song from him again."

Bai Li's agent spoke up.

As her agent, she had warned Bai Li long ago, but Bai Li wouldn't listen. Now, with the potential for "Encounter" to become a hit even before its release, it's worth it, let alone four million, even five million.

"Can you come up with another song like 'Encounter'?"

Bai Li asked in return.

"..."

Her agent didn't answer for a moment before saying, "If it's not enough, add some more. Don't be stingy with the money. Besides, Zhang You is a man of pride and dignity. You've given him such a high price, he naturally won't just give you a cheap song."

"Isn't that the poem from 'The Romance of the Western Chamber'?"

Bai Li spoke up.

"That song didn't make much money, but it didn't lose money either; it's already been bought by a period drama series as its ending theme."

Lan Kexin looked at Bai Li and said, "Don't be scared by what people outside say about Zhang You liking to export and then resell. None of his songs have lost money so far. If you don't believe me, look at how many copies of 'Clearly My Heart,' a duet by Rong Lan and Cheng Dong, have sold!"

Upon hearing her manager say that, Bai Li took out her phone, opened the music platform, and quickly checked the data for the song "Clearly My Heart".

Soon, she saw the song on the love song duet chart. Lan Kexin's voice came through the phone, saying, "This song was released yesterday. After Rong Lan bought it, she was worried that she would lose money, so she got Teacher Cheng Dong involved. They split the cost of the song and recorded it as a male-female duet. Now... as you can see, in just one night, this song has climbed to number eight on the love song duet chart."

Bai Li turned a deaf ear.

Her eyes were fixed on the song's data.

The number of listens reached four million, and the number of purchases exceeded one million. She then quickly checked the comments.

"It's been so long since I've heard a chorus like this, it's so beautiful."

"Zhang You's lyrics and music are as amazing as ever; it feels like each of his songs tells a story."

"I don't know why, but this song gives me the illusion of going back to the past. But to be honest, the duet between Teacher Rong Lan and Teacher Cheng Dong is absolutely amazing. The melody is beautiful and the song is moving and heartfelt."

This song is very catchy.

......

"How about it!?"

Lan Kexin asked with a smile, "You think it's expensive? Ultimately, it's because you haven't seen the value of Zhang You's songs. To be honest, sometimes I don't understand you either. You think it's expensive to buy a song, but when it comes to luxury bags, you can buy two or three for over a million yuan each without complaining. Yet, you become stingy when it comes to investing in your own career."

Bai Li did not refute what her agent said.

After all it is true.

She loves luxury handbags, but she doesn't carry many with her; she buys them mostly to collect. She knows she's a bit over the top, but what woman could bear to give up such beautiful bags?

If you don't have money, that's fine. But if you do have money... the most expensive thing is just a matter of gritting your teeth and stomping your foot.

She could skip buying the song, and she could do without a man, but a handbag… she'd buy it even if it killed her. Just putting it in her handbag collection cabinet would brighten her mood. After a while, Bai Li asked, “Will the song ‘Clearly My Heart’ eventually sell over four million copies?!”

"Judging from the trend, there shouldn't be any problems, because the music scene hasn't seen any high-quality male-female duets for a long time."

Lan Kexin shared her deduction.

Bai Li did a quick calculation and knew that if the song's sales really exceeded four million, Rong Lan wouldn't lose money. Even if she didn't make much, she would at least have one more song.

Suddenly, Bai Li felt a pang of envy for Jiang Yiren.

In the music scene today, many singers want to commission songs from Zhang You, but the prices he asks for are prohibitive. On the other hand, Jiang Yiren can sing any song she wants, even more than she can sing, and she even gave one to her best friend Zhang Yi.

She had considered bringing it up at the time, but considering that she and Jiang Yiren weren't that close, she was too embarrassed to say it.

People used to openly or secretly mock her for her poor taste, but now it seems... she's the woman who knows how to choose a husband best. For a singer, what's most important?
Without a doubt, lyrics and music are the most important.

With good lyrics and music, a singer can showcase their singing skills. Otherwise, no matter how good their singing skills are, without good lyrics and music, they will at best be an obscure singer.

"Should you tell Zhang You yourself, or should I do it for you?!"

Lan Kexin asked.

"I'll see what happens after 'Encounter' is released."

Bai Li hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"You!"

Lan Kexin shook her head helplessly. She had seen through Bai Li's thoughts. She was still reluctant to part with the four million. As for having the company buy the song from Zhang You, four million... it was unlikely that the company would agree. Otherwise, many agencies would have already stepped in. Zhang You's song was considered expensive not only by the singer but also by the management company.

Even with Zhang You's song sales figures, the management company still operates this way. This is mainly because the prices for lyricists and composers in the industry are already established, and people have a reference point. Suddenly encountering such an expensive offer is hard to accept, especially since no one knows what the quality of the songs Zhang You will deliver will be after spending the money.

It seems that only when one of the songs, "Encounter" or "Red Bean," becomes a huge hit will people feel that the risk of four million is still worth taking. I just don't know if Zhang You will raise the price again by then.

The item belongs to someone else; as long as they don't force you to buy or sell, any price they set is perfectly normal.
